LondonPatrick Keiller 1994 UKA researcher accompanies a lover across London investigating its economic and cultural nature at a time of political unrest.Exhilarating in its framing simplicity and visual texture, this works more as a personal, humorous, associative tapestry informed by the specific geographical progressions through its titular capital city more than a rigorous, agenda-driven 'essay' with a particular given focus. As such, its main charm is its topical immediacy and the witty way in which Paul Scofield's narration delivers it; and it rewards repeat viewings, in both its material and as a film about a particular place at a particular time.See also: PATRICK KEILLER.
